Are you a journalist, an aspiring writer, or someone with a passion for storytelling but lacking a platform to share your work? NewsLight Kenya (NLK) wants to hear from you!
NewsLight Kenya a digital news platform based in Kenya, is inviting applications from passionate and creative individuals interested in joining our growing network of contributors across all 47 counties in Kenya and also internationally.
We believe every community has a story worth telling, every voice deserves an opportunity to be heard, and every aspiring storyteller deserves a chance to grow. Whether you are an experienced journalist, a recent graduate, a freelance reporter or simply someone passionate about telling meaningful stories, this is an opportunity to take your storytelling journey to the next level.
At NewsLight Kenya, we welcome contributors with diverse interests and areas of expertise, including politics, business, education, health, sports, technology, environment, agriculture, human rights, governance, entertainment and community development and current affairs.

You do not have to be an experienced journalist to apply.
At NLK, we understand that talent needs an opportunity to flourish. That is why we are committed to mentoring and guiding aspiring writers, including those who have the passion but may not yet know how to develop a story, structure an article or write for publication.
Through mentorship and practical guidance, we aim to help contributors strengthen their writing skills, understand journalistic principles, identify compelling story angles and develop confidence in their storytelling abilities.
We also share relevant opportunities as they arise, helping our contributors stay informed about opportunities that can support their professional growth and development in journalism and communications.
We are looking for curious, creative and responsible individuals who are willing to learn, research, develop original story ideas and uphold ethical storytelling standards.
